“My ABS and brake light blinks on and off all the time and dings. When I roll my windows up sometimes it turns my radio on and off. I can be going down the road and my gas hand will drop to empty and also my speedometer will drop to zero even if I am going 60 MPH. My cargo light will turn on by itself sometimes and if I turn it on is it very hard to get it turned off.”
NHTSA complaint #10523327, filed 2013-07, 34,000 miles“While my vehicle was parked I was inspecting a noise I had heard previously and noticed my rear brake line has been worn through the protective insulation to the point where the inner brake line is now exposed. It looks like the bracket that supports the line is the culprit due to friction rubbing against the line while traveling. If not seen in time I suspect this could have caused the brake to fail.”
NHTSA complaint #10534959, filed 2013-08, 54,100 miles“Back in september 2009 at 30,000 miles I had rear brakes replaced on my 2007 Dodge RAM 1500 pickup at firestone in massapequa ,ny. In april 2010 I started hear squeaking noise from brakes so I brought truck back to firestone to check brakes. Then a couple of weeks after that I started hearing a different noise. It was metallic in nature so I brought it back to firestone but they could not locate sound. I left thinking it was trailer hitch but still heard noise. …”
NHTSA complaint #10332245, filed 2010-05, 48,000 miles“Three sets of rotors and brakes in two years, 4wd auto light flashing and works intermittently(just started plus electrical noise in dash and heat stops blowing. Sounds like it's going to start on fire. I have to get to work so I have to drive it.(I have five kids a crabby wife and a granddaughter to feed), tie rod on drivers side went bad. So I had everything replaced. I've sunk allot of $$ into it and can't afford another penny. I'm concerned of all the complaints saying the computer goes bad causing the actuator to go bad as well. I hope it lasts long enough. …”
